Minecraft Compatibility

Bedrock Edition worlds are currently not supported; however, they can be converted to Java Edition format by using Chunker, by Hive Games. Most entities are currently not rendered by Chunky, and some special blocks cannot be rendered either.

Below is a list of the Minecraft versions currently supported by Chunky and everything that Chunky currently cannot render. For more detailed information about which features of Minecraft are not yet supported, check the issues with the "minecraft" label on GitHub.

Block models

Mojang sometimes changes the block models or textures (and texture mappings) of existing blocks. By default, Chunky uses the latest block models of Java Edition.

To maintain compatibility with old resource packs, there are flags to switch to older block models. These flags can be specified in the Launcher as Java options, eg. -Dchunky.blockModels.cocoa=pre-1.19 to switch to the old cocoa plant model.

Block Flag Values Note
cocoa chunky.blockModels.cocoa 1.19 (default), pre-1.19 Block model changed in 1.19; stage 2 cocoa plant is displayed incorrectly when the resource pack and block model don't match (see #1761)

Unsupported block models

If you're missing an old block model or encounter issues with a block when using a resource pack that is made for an older Minecraft version, please create an issue. We will add support for all block models that are present in release versions of Minecraft (ie. block models that only appeared in snapshots will not be supported).
